Manaslu 2012 (8,156 m) – weather improvement, caravan to the base camp

Thanks to considerable improvement in weather conditions, members of the unification expedition of Polish Mountaineering Association to Manaslu reached the base camp. They walked from Samagaon in less than 4 hours. Three-meter high snowdrifts awaited them in the base camp. „Tents of the members are already put up. The base camp is going to be ready before dusk.” – Jerzy Natkański, leader of the expedition, has reported today. Polish Himalayan mountaineers feel fine.

The expedition is a part of “Polish Winter Himalayan Mountaineering 2010-2015” program, whose honorary patron is Bronisław Komorowski, the President of Poland. The Ministry of Sport and Tourism and Jerzy Kukuczka Polish Mountaineering Support Foundation finance the expedition. Equipment is provided by HiMountain.
